Midgham Green Flat Roof Survey
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Midgham Green. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Leaks around rooflights
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Midgham Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Flat roof survey in Midgham Green: what you get
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: on the roof where it is safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. Where any area can’t be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so you know exactly what was covered. Common reasons to book are ponding water that doesn’t drain away and cracked or split membrane, on GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and mastic asphalt.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Midgham Green take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common questions in Midgham Green
Do you cover smaller places like Midgham Green?
Yes, Midgham Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Midgham Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
Where it’s safe, the roof is inspected from the roof itself. Otherwise we use windows, vantage points and the spaces below, and we note any area we couldn’t see. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What affects the price in Midgham Green
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Midgham Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Local flat roofs in Midgham Green
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Matthew, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Landlords with a home close to Midgham station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Why it is worth a survey now in Midgham Green
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is often a small repair. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. A survey now shows which you’re dealing with. For an older or listed building in a place like Midgham Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on what we found.
Keep outlets, gutters and hoppers clear, especially after the leaves fall. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
